    In The Den with SIMBA / Brittany Stodgell and Millie Schnebly of Maker + Made

    In this episode of In the Den, we sit down with Brittany Stodgell and Millie Schnebly, the co-founders of Maker + Made, to talk about what it really takes to build a brand that lasts in today’s fast-moving business world. Founded in 2019 by two best friends, Maker + Made has grown into a full-service creative agency based in downtown Spokane, helping businesses connect with their audience through branding, websites, packaging, content creation, and thoughtful strategy. We talk about what makes Maker + Made different, how they’ve built a strong creative team, and what they’re seeing from business owners trying to do branding on their own with AI tools, Canva, or quick fixes. Brittany and Millie share why a real brand foundation still matters and how businesses can think long-term instead of chasing trends. The conversation also dives into Spokane’s entrepreneurial scene, what local business owners are navigating right now, and why community and collaboration matter so much when building something meaningful. We also talk about their connection with SIMBA and the power of surrounding yourself with the right people. Whether you’re launching your first business, refreshing your brand, or trying to figure out how to stand out in a crowded market, this episode offers honest insight from two founders helping businesses grow the right way.

    On The Streets with Spokast! / Friday Thoughts / January 30, 2026

    On this Friday Thoughts episode, I’m checking in on what’s been sitting with me this week. I talk about preparing to read my grandmother’s eulogy, thinking through grief, family, and the time we get with the people we love. I reflect on carrying regret without letting it harden you, how memories can feel both heavy and grounding, and why this season has pushed me to slow down and be more present. I also look back on a full week of daily episodes, what podcasting has become for me, and where On the Streets is headed next. Thanks for being here.

    On The Streets with Spokast! / “Enough Is Enough” & The Field / January 28, 2026

    In this episode, I reflect on gratitude, paying attention to the lessons life keeps putting in front of us, and why slowing down matters. I shout out T.S. The Solution and his new track Enough Is Enough featuring Dravis, talk through studio life and meaningful conversations, and explore the idea of “the field”—the belief that life keeps nudging us until we listen. A reminder to be kinder, appreciate the people around us, and value the small moments. Peace. Show Flow 00:33 Housekeeping 01:23 Spokane Thing: New Single from T.S the Solution 04:31 Spokast!

    It’s a good Monday in Spokane. In this episode, I talk about a low-key weekend with the kids, youth basketball and why getting kids into sports early matters, and the Inlander Best of the Inland Northwest voting kicking off again. I also head into the studio to record The Perimeter with Adam Morrison, talk Gonzaga hoops and what this stretch of the season means, and share some excitement about trying my first in-car interview soon. And yes—the Seahawks are headed to the Super Bowl, which puts me in a very good mood. A little Spokane pride, a little sports joy, and a reminder to appreciate the good runs while you’re in them.
